' Cardiff City Sign Arsenal player till the end off Season.

LOAN: Arsenal defender Semi Ajayi has joined Cardiff City on loan until May 2nd.

The Nigerian, 21, has featured on the bench for the Gunners in the Premier League this season but is out of contract in the summer.


Picked up from Charlton after a successful trial in 2013, Ajayi followed a similar path to Carl Jenkinson in moving to north London.
As Arsenal struggled for injuries this season, the 6ft 3in player was an unused substitute in games against Hull City, Stoke and Newcastle, as well as in the Capital One Cup defeat by Southampton.
But with Arsene Wenger keen on bringing in a defender during this window and Ajayi's deal running out, Gus Poyet is casting an eye.

Linked with sunderland on loan in jan, think his contract is up at the end of the year so we might be looking at him before then?

Is he a central defender ?

fair play that cardiff poster who said we would sign someone before thursday was right

Was he?

I thought he said we would be signing a central midfielder.

He may still be right if we sign one of those before this week`s loan window closes though.

He scored twice for our development team against Coventry earlier this season whilst on trial with us. I think Paul Evans (TOBW) in his report on that game gave him a good review.
Would be a good signing for us (and relatively cheap) if the deal is a loan with an option to purchase in the Summer.

Got a mate at work who is an Arsenal fan. Rates him. Big strong and quick.

Good on the club

he's not exactly young to still be knocking around in the arsenal reserves. But we have a good opportunity to have a look at him now, if hes good we get him cheaply.

Honestly this baffles me we let out a experienced defender on loan to free up wages , then we sign another defender on loan when there is no real point as the season is effectively over for us and we end up spending more wages on someone else , only at Cardiff

Because he will be a free in June, a good talent

didn't realise he was free

Why does the club describe it as an 'emergency loan'?

it is what they call this part loan season!? after certain date maybe

Perhaps Arsenal are paying his wages as well!

I'd think this is a trial loan?
See what he's like etc
Obviously manga is going and Connelly by the looks
Let's see what he's made of !

Gus Poyet??

Might be, but I thought an 'emergency loan' was for when a club had an injury crisis.

Think its just a general term only crisis signing is goalie!

There are mainly 3 types of loan deals, Standard loans which run between transfer windows August - January, August - May, January - May etc, then there are emergency loans which have a maximum duration of 93 days and only occur when the FL transfer windows open between transfer windows, then there are youth loans which can operate on a standard or emergency basis. The goalkeeper "Emergency Loan" can be allowed outside of transfer windows.

Just the terminology and nothing to do with injury crisis.

That's what I thought Sven, didn't Sunderland sack him last week??

Well with a name like that he was never going to get a game in the stiffs. As for letting Connolly then I think this just makes it clear that he will leave permanently and loaning this guy with a view to sign is more about the long term that just this season. As with all new signings though I like to wait to see how I rate them (good or bad). Some on here are too quick to judge before someone has kicked a ball

Here's food thought could it be that Manga might being going to Arsenal

Here's food for thought , could it be that Manga might being going to Arsenal in return

Have you got hiccups lol

Disappointed.

Saw the topic heading and thought we'd managed to loan Rambo for the rest of the season.

Cheers , got the gist of it now!

Mind,I think Manga is a perfect fit for Arsenal. He might end up on the bench a lot, but would probably play Cup games. Just hope he doesn't leave, but I think we'd have to accept £7 million.
